About

I’m a data problem-solver with a knack for spotting patterns others miss — whether it’s fraud in telecom networks, bottlenecks in Coca-Cola’s value chain, or predicting machine failures before they happen. Trained as a biostatistician, I’ve stretched my skills into IT, business intelligence, and machine learning, building everything from ODK-powered field tools to live dashboards and predictive models. I don’t just analyze data — I engineer solutions that make systems smarter, leaner, and more secure
